Shutters are up!

BEFORE...(the house is really not crooked - that was my fault!)
ALMOST  DONE....Shutters are up!  Scott is ordering the front porch
decking called Azek.  It's similar to Trex but more stain resistant...

Siding is almost done!

The turtle didn't seem to like the pool in the sun
-- too hot...so we moved it to the shade.

 *******
We stopped by the house after piano lessons today - shutters are up!  Yea!  They are a little big since we odered slightly the wrong size (a little too small) windows, but we'll get used to it...We really like the simpler lines.  Scott had 2 inspections this morning - plumbing and framing - went pretty well.  We need to take care of a few minor issues.  Electrical inspection is this afternoon - praying....Hoping to get insulation in next week for a next Thurs inspection....then drywall....Finalized cabinets yesterday for the kitchen and bathrooms.  Thanking God that two issues that one of the inspectors was being difficult about a few weeks ago seems to be ok now...The man today said, "looks like a pre-existing condition to me" (one of our existing steps is too short and the back deck was built years ago with 2x6s, but today they use 2x8s and we have a small section to rebuild)...Praise God!

*******
Scott just called -- electrical inspection PASSED!  Praise the Lord! 
Hoping that he won't have any more midnight/wee morning work hours! 
The inspector said that the electrical work was VERY neatly done!

Jasen has been such a big help!  Working with Scott on
wiring a new electrical panel...look at ALL of those wires (sorry the pic is blurry)!!! 
So thankful for the people God has brought along to help us!
